Who Wants to Rock?

Randall, Homework, NK, Chazzy and Vick are a gaggle of middle-age rock and rollers who, each month, attend several free rock and roll shows at the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den. Some may call this virile collection of man-meat "losers", and that may be accurate, but they sure can rock...oh, how they can rock.

RIDERS ON THE STORM (Doors Tribute) - Rock Log 120811


It was a fine week @ that Den.

Randall, Vick & I caught a good show on Thursday evening.  Vick's 2nd show for the week and the 3rd for Randall and I.  Thursday evening brought Riders on The Storm a Doors tribute band to the stage.  Musically  they were spot on.  The guitar, drums and keyboard were perfect.  Close your eyes and one is transformed back to when the Doors were in their prime.  Open them, that is when it gets a little rough.  You are transformed back to the Jim Morrison's" bloated like a tic/Grizzly Adams era".  The Vocalist we will call "Jim" sonically was perfect.  His voice was exact and it was evident it came natural to the guy. Having seen many Door's covers over the years, many singers over sing and have piss poor results, Jim had perfect pitch, never strained and let the mic do the work, he was simply outstanding.

The Den has had a good run of regulars in the crowd. Thursday's  worth mentioning is  first and foremost the lovely Sasquatch accompanied by Greg Allman. There was also a brief appearance from Troy D. We also had Charlie Manson sporting a newer look for him (Blond Dreads and a smoking hot brunette with fake ta ta's on his arm/cane).  Also distracting from the "bloated tic like" Jim was the plethora of hot hippy chic's. 

All and all a very  good show, I can think of  3 things that would have made it better.
1.       our being more familiar with the trippy side of the doors material.
2.       our being young enough to finish the marathon and see them do "LA Woman"
3.       An appearance from the Lumpy, four step, bearded Bill Parcells
          
Respectfully submitted,
